On some nights when the man and I feel like having a steak but we don't want it as a 'steak', it's Korean grilled meats to the rescue! We stop by the super unassuming and casual Korea House on Killiney Road for bits of grilled meats. It has been around since 2017 or so, family-run. Predictably, the owner is a Mrs Kim. Her kimchi, which is for sale (take home) by the boxes, is seriously good.
The banchan is decent, but not as glorious as Chang BBQ's. The grilled meats aren't necessarily cheaper because the cut and its quality is similar be it beef or pork. At $69, Korea House's 'premium grilled beef' is equally good. I'm not fond of galbi or any short-ribs because of the marinade. I like these meats to be clear of sauces. A bit of pepper and salt is fine. I can always add more to taste.
Tonight, we had the grilled beef and also a bowl of doenjang-jjigae. It was a super satisfying dinner. We went easy on the carbs and shared one bowl of rice and a bottle of Terra beer. Heh. The rice was completely unnecessary, but it was such tasty foil to the tofu stew.
I love Korean grilled meats because of the vegetables that come along. The beef is great. I just don't really want to get the pork because all the cuts offered are so fatty; not quite to my taste. I can eat one piece, maybe two, but not all of it unless a full table is sharing the fasts. I totally look forward to the raw garlic and green chilli!
